Matched before it is sprayed
Test cards get checked against your car first. That stops a bad match before it reaches the panel.

What Goes Into Paint That Matches
Your car's color is not just red or gray. The same paint code can come in slight shade differences. Sun on Texas roads fades it a little more each year. So we do not just pour from a can. We read your color with a camera tool and mix it by computer. Then we spray test cards and hold them next to the car. When the card matches, we paint. Your estimate lists every prep step, coat and blend panel, so you see where the work goes.
What Our Paint Work Covers
Here is what usually goes into a refinish job. Each piece has its own line, so nothing hides in one big total.
Color read by computer
A handheld tool scans your paint. The computer uses that reading to build the right mix.
Spray-out test cards
We spray a sample card and compare it in daylight. If it is off, we tweak the mix and try again.
Careful masking
Glass, trim and nearby panels get covered. Overspray only lands where it is supposed to.
Sanding and prep
The surface is cleaned, sanded and wiped down. Paint only sticks as well as the prep under it.
Primer and sealer
Primer fills small flaws. Sealer gives the color an even base, so it lays down smoothly.
Downdraft booth
We spray in a booth that pulls air down and out. Dust stays off the wet paint, and the finish comes out clean.
Blending next door
Color is faded into the panels beside the repair. That tricks the eye, so the fix just disappears.
Clear coat and polish
Clear seals the color and brings back the shine. A final polish sorts out any tiny specks.
How We Handle Your Paint
- 01
Match the color
We look at the damage and scan your paint. Then we mix and spray test cards until one matches. You get a written estimate showing prep, paint and blend panels. We go over it line by line.
- 02
Prep and spray
The area is sanded, cleaned and masked. Primer and sealer go on first. Then color and clear are sprayed in the booth. If prep turns up rust or old filler, we call you before we fix it.
- 03
Cure and look closely
The paint cures, then we polish it out. We check it under bright light and outside in the sun. Then we invite you to look with us, side by side with the panels we did not touch. If you see anything off, tell us and we will put it right.
Why You Can Count on Our Paint
Prep is never skipped
Shortcuts in prep show up later as peeling. We take the slow route, and the paint stays put.
Every coat on paper
Your estimate shows each layer and panel. You know just what you are paying for, and why it is there.
